Baylor football has revealed its 2025 Baylor football season opener vs. Auburn game theme as Blackout on the Brazos, the department announced Monday.

Blackout on the Brazos, a nod to last year's return of the anthracite jersey to the team apparel rotation and a 7 p.m. Friday night kick, reflects the excitement and anticipation for this way-too-early top-25 matchup on Aug. 29 at McLane Stadium.

This week one game will be the first time Baylor hosts a Southeastern Conference opponent as a Big 12 Conference member.

Rising senior Darianna Littlepage-Buggs is trading in her Baylor jersey for a few weeks this summer as she was announced as one of 21 participants in the 2025 USA Basketball Women's AmeriCup Team trials beginning next week at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado.

Littlepage-Buggs, a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American, contributed 13.8 points per game in 28 games with 11 double-doubles in 2024-25. The Oklahoma City, Okla., native posted 19 games with double-digit points, 17 with double-digit rebounds, and put together a 20-point, 20-rebound game against UNLV, the first for a Bear since 2022.
